'Elephant White' by Holly Clifton Brown
...and the trapeze mice dream of flying with real wings....
My good friend JRNS calls it 'shaking the tree' - taking some positive action in order to force the fruit down instead of waiting and hoping for the best. Recently an example of this has happened in quite a remarkable way.
I've been writing prospective picture books off and on over the years but have never submitted them. I decided to seek out an illustrator who might do a spec sketch to help a pitch to a publisher. I found, via blogspot funnily enough, the wonderful Holly Clifton Brown who has a unique and magical style. To cut a long story short, after sending her my stories, and her contacting her agent, we now have a couple of publishing deals on offer - against two titles 'Claude' and 'Elephant White'... see above...
